In many cases one Piano Forte in one of the listed setups will provide a 
good  solution,  but  the  absolute  perfect  solution  is  two  Piano  Fortes  in 
stereo setup. This solution should be connected in exactly the same way, 
but you only connect the left channel to one input terminal on the left 
Piano Forte and the right channel to one input terminal on the right Piano 
Forte. In other respects, follow the instructions given above - simply with 
separate channels. If necessary, obtain advice from your dealer.

Tuning Piano Forte

Once you have chosen the connection you wish to use, you must begin the 
task of tuning the system. Following the procedure below will help you to 
achieve good results. Use a piece of music that you know well, ideally with 
rhythmic bass tone content such as bass drums, electric bass or similar.

Begin by setting "Volume" and "Crossover Frequency" to the central pos-
ition ("12 o'clock"). Set the "Phase" change-over switch to position 180°, 
and set both "Auto Shut Off" and "Power" to the "ON" position.
